THE RAILROAD SITUATION

what Serves to Make IL Interesting
and the Outlook Cheerful.
Certain events have occurred, says the
New York Sun, 40 for instance:
The Reading Railroad has been taken out
Of ruin and bankruptcy and rehabilitated.
lnstead Of an annual deficit Of millions, It
will next year begin the payment Of q
dividend OF four per cent per annum on Its
capital stock.
The Union Pacific has been converted
from bankruptcy into aourishing property
pecis. The vexed question Of It's enormous
debt to the Government 10 substantia ally
settled by the Pacific Railroads Commission,
which will recommend the issue Of o per
cent bond for the amounts wise and
equitable determination Of very disturb
Ing and embarrassing question. 1t will
leave the road free aud able TO pay divi-
dends 70 It's stockhoiders next year.
The Jersey Central has been rescued from
bankruptcy, reorgsnixed and restored to
the ranks Of sound aud we'll conducted con-
Germs.
The Northern Pacific system has under
gone . practical reorganization, and has
passed into the control Of wise and con
seryative naturalization.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, after q few
months experience OF the Interstate Com
merce act, finds itself able to increase its
dividends, and has done 80.
The Baltimore and Ohio has passed out
Of the control Of Q fooli.h, reckless and
dangerous management into the hands Of
one Of the most competent railroad men In
the country. 1t will pay regular and earned
dividends heresfter.
The New York Central, under Mr.. De-
pew's direction, has just made the best
statement that II has issued In ten years.
The Erie Railroad, under the management
Of John King, is, to all intents and purposes,
rebuilt from one end to the other, with
curves straighteDed and bridges improved,
and it's forthcoming report will make bet
ter showing to its Stockholders than they
have ever seen before
Add to the foregoing facts the earnings OF
all the railroads for the year, the present
condition and prospects OF the Southern
lines, the ending Of the telegraph war, the
state Of the coal trade, the tendency of ma
tional legislation already clearly fore
shadowed, and the condition Of Europe, and
we may be permitted to remark that the
business situation is the most interesting
that has been known in this country since
1866.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film oi
@magnesa vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness; and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icntGd sugar-plums" - the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions arc plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. 7. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
N. ", expresses exactly what hundreds
havo written at greater length. lIo
says: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They arc perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
IL must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DIR. George i. Walker, of Martins
Vile, Virginia.
"Ayer's Pills outsoll all similar prep
aratons. Tho public having once used
them, will have no others" - Berry,
Venable s. Collier, Atlanta, Ga.
Ayers Pills,
Prepared By prJ, G. Aver s Co., Lowell, Mass.
Sold by all Dealers In Medicine.

THE Two HOUSES.

Twill overtask thousand men,
With all their strength and skill,
To build my Lord ere New Years eve
Hs castle on the hill:
"Then take two thousand" said my Lord,
"And labor with WILL"
They wrought, these glad two thousand
But long ere winter gloom,
Ny Lord had found smaller house,
And dwelt In one dark room:
And one man built 1t 10 one day,
While the bells rang ding, dong, boom
Shut up the door shut up the door
Shut up the door till Doom
